Toto Wolff has defended both Lewis Hamilton and the Mercedes strategists after the Brit missed out on the win thanks to team decisions at the Dutch Grand Prix.
Hamilton has endured a difficult season and faces the prospect of racing through an entire year without a win for the first time in his 16-year career. The seven-time world champion has struggled piloting a car which has ultimately failed to perform amid the new era of Formula 1 regulations.
At Zandvoort on Sunday, Max Verstappen took his 10th win of the season and the Dutchman is marching towards a second successive world championship - but the 2022 Dutch Grand Prix will be remembered for Mercedes missing out on their elusive win. Following a decision to stay out on his old tyres following a safety car, Hamilton vented his frustration at his team.
